Easy Scoring
Upon completion of the NOMs through Qualtrics, you will receive an Email with the survey
answers, including the PRIME responses. You can access the responses in both the body of the
Email and through a link provided at the beginning of the message. You will then use the
responses of the PRIME to score clients, determining if they have screened positively or
negatively.
A positive screen means the client is at clinical high risk for psychosis and they should be
referred for further evaluation/services specific to psychosis if they are not already.

psychosis.
